Cool. It's your money. You like wolves better than children, who am I to judge?*Anyway, I like animals. As unwitting members of a society we've created, they have no family support to take care of the financial needs we've thrust upon them. Kids do. I am my puppy's keeper.
You want to give to kids, breast cancer, Westboro Baptist Church, or the Privacy Hedge Proliferation Society, knock yourself out.
I'd rather save the wolves or something.
That's a different debate, and it applies to everyone here. Good straw man, bad execution imo.
So its okay for you to waste money on all those things before helping the poor, starving, dying, children but others can't spend their money on animals? Is that what you're getting at?
Of course, we all like our comfort, and we all also donate most of the fruits of our labor to our wives and kids. I have no problem with any of that.I like my comfort, and feel no shame about that. It comes higher on my priority list than every charity other than the Freelove's Wife and Kids Fund, to which I donate virtually all my earnings.
What I choose to give beyond that, I do because it makes me feel better about myself and the world I live in. Puppies in a state of woe tug at my heartstrings. Sue me.
No, not mad. Just find it odd thinking.
Its when you start a thread thinking you have a point and end up looking an ###.
Can you tell me why it's odd thinking? It seems pretty normal to me. We gave X Million dollars as a society last year to help children. We gave Y Million dollars as a society to help cats. Given those facts, the thought wouldn't cross your mind that "hmm, hey, maybe we should take the Y Million we gave to cats, and instead give that to children too" ?

Wait a second...you can OWN family members?! I'm telling my daughters when they get home from school today that I have fields that need to be plowed. H'yah mule....H'YAH!!!
why do anything with your money besides donate to sick kids then?
I find it odd that anyone would question where people choose to donate. It's a personal choice that has no right or wrong answer but it is all for a good cause.
Let's do the same thing when it comes to breast cancer or ALS or Alzheimers. Screw those sick adults. Every penny should go to kids.
And even more weird when people pick and choose what species deserves their donations while burping up the tasty succulent flesh of another.
Maybe folks could get Sally Struthers crying on an infomercial that shows lots of baby calves with their mothers. Show them up to their mid-sections in "poo," cold, wet, shivering...then show as said calve's mother is hauled off to the slaughterhouse...with Sally PLEAING for donations to save said cow. "THINK OF THE (COW'S) CHILDREN!!!"
To me it isn't about kids/adults; rather humans/animals. People that want to help animals before humans are want don't make sense.
seems pretty selfish to have kids. every cent you make should be donated to healing all the sick kids of the world. that doesn't leave much room for anything else.
Exactly. And we need to be sure we are donating to the kids who absolutely need it the most. I'm sure there is some disabled kid in Africa that has both AIDS and Ebola. Cutting him a personal check as we speak.
Personally, I'm quitting my job and going to school to be a pediatrician. How can I do any other job when there are sick kids who need doctors?
